$A$ mass $m$ of material exists in its solid state at its melting temperature $0^\circ C$. The following processes occur to the material:
Process-$1$: An amount of thermal energy $Q$ is added to the material, and $\frac{2}{3}$ of the material melts.
Process-$2$: An identical additional amount of thermal energy $Q$ is added to the material, and the material is now a liquid at $40^\circ C$.
What is the ratio of the latent heat of fusion $(L)$ to the specific heat of the liquid $(s)$ for this material?

  • A

$A$ pellet of mass $m$ and specific heat capacity $c$ fired from an air gun hits a steel plate with speed $v$. During the impact,$50\%$ of the pellet's kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy in it. The rise in the temperature of the pellet is

$A$ $20 \,g$ bullet whose specific heat is $5000 \,J/(kg \cdot ^{\circ}C)$ and moving at $2000 \,m/s$ plunges into a $1.0 \,kg$ block of wax whose specific heat is $3000 \,J/(kg \cdot ^{\circ}C)$. Both the bullet and the wax are at $25^{\circ}C$. Assuming that $(i)$ the bullet comes to rest in the wax and $(ii)$ all its kinetic energy is converted into heat,the final temperature of the wax (in $^{\circ}C$) is close to:

Consider a rectangular sheet of solid material of length $l=9 \ cm$ and width $d=4 \ cm$. The coefficient of linear expansion is $\alpha=3.1 \times 10^{-5} \ K^{-1}$ at room temperature and one atmospheric pressure. The mass of the sheet is $m=0.1 \ kg$ and the specific heat capacity is $C_v=900 \ J \ kg^{-1} K^{-1}$. If the amount of heat supplied to the material is $8.1 \times 10^2 \ J$,then the change in area of the rectangular sheet is:
